I'm having problems triggering studio flash in high res mode on the EM1 Mk2. I have no issues at all using an EM5 Mk2. I also have no issues triggering the lights in single shot mode (with the EM1 mk2)

I posted this on DP Review and someone else responded and is having the same problem. It would be appreciated if any EM1 Mk2 owners out there could try any flash, hot shoe mounted or studio lights, in high res mode and report back

I noticed the other day that flash doesn't work with the the electronic shutter.
I've not played with the high res mode as yet but assume it uses the electronic shutter.
May be I have a setting wrong for flash but I'm not a great flash user.

I'm a bit confused with the EM1 Mk2 menu, as the anti shock option has been removed. Now only have the silent shooting option, which is known to disable flash.

I feel like packing the camera up and sending it back to be honest. If this is a bug, I'm flabbergasted that a flagship model, aimed at professionals, has been released without testing. After all, the high res mode is advertised as being perfect for product photography in the studio!

Thanks Graham but everything is set correctly (as far as I know). Shutter speed 1/50th (have tried with 1/20th too), ISO 200 and f5.6. The high res shot actually completes, but it won't trigger the flash. I've even tried the little Olympus flash on the hot shoe and it won't fire. Flash fires fine in single shot mode.
